Amiram Eldar, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000
FORMULA
The unitary convolution of A047994 (the unitary totient phi) with A069513 (the characteristic function of prime powers): a(n) = Sum_{d | n, gcd(d, n/d) == 1} A047994(d) * A069513(n/d).
a(n) = uphi(n) * Sum_{p^e || n} (1/(p^e-1)), where uphi = A047994, and p^e || n denotes that the prime power p^e unitarily divides n (i.e., p^e divides n but p^(e+1) does not divide n).
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c * n^2 / 2, where c = c1 * c2 = 0.26256423811374124133..., c1 = Product_{p prime}(1 - 1/(p*(p+1))) = A065463, and c2 = Sum_{p prime}(1/(p^2+p-1)) = 0.37272644617447080939... .
EXAMPLE
For n = 6, the greatest divisor of k that is a unitary divisor of 6 for k = 1 to 6 is 1, 2, 3, 2, 1 and 6, respectively. 3 of the values are prime powers, and therefore a(6) = 3.
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := p^e - 1; a[1] = 0; a[n_] := Module[{fct = FactorInteger[n]}, (Times @@ f @@@ fct)*(Total[1/f @@@ fct])]; Array[a, 100]
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {my(f = factor(n)); prod(i = 1, #f~, f[i, 1]^f[i, 2]-1) * sum(i = 1, #f~, 1/(f[i, 1]^f[i, 2] - 1)); }
